[intel opencl SDK]How do I know I installed successfully?

[xx_y_]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest intel_sdk_for_opencl for Ubuntu(16.04), and I ran the install.sh. No warnings or errors.

Then how do I know I installed correctly? I was hoping there were some c++ sample codes I could directly compile and run in the terminal, but the sample code pages seem to provide segments of code instead of the whole cpp files...

Thanks for any feedback.

If you haven't already, you will need to install a driver package first. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/opencl-drivers

For Ubuntu 16.04, your options are one of the Linux standalone releases or a generic install of Media Server Studio community edition.

There is a system analyzer you can use to check if OpenCL components are working correctly: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/mss-sys-analyzer-linux

The Linux samples package here has code you can compile and test. There are more examples in the article/example list here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/opencl/topic/706888

It's not an Intel tool, but for Linux I like to check that everything is working by using "clinfo".  It's a simple utility that enumerates the installed OpenCL platforms and devices on your system.

On Ubuntu you can install it with: sudo apt-get install clinfo

Or, you can get the source code here: https://github.com/Oblomov/clinfo

>>...On Ubuntu you can install it with: sudo apt-get install clinfo Thanks, Ben. I simply would like to mention that it is recommended to execute sudo apt-get update first, and then sudo apt-get install clinfo.

I think four Sticky Threads of the forum need to be updated and developers are asking questions because some things are not clearly explained. I understand that it is not possible to explain, or describe, everything absolutely clearly and that is why updating these Sticky Threads is a good thing. I would personally re-structured installation topics as follows: *** Installation on Windows *** - GPU / CPU ... - GPU only ... - CPU only ... *** Installation on Linux Ubuntu *** - GPU / CPU ... - GPU only ... - CPU only ... *** Installation on Linux Red Hat *** - GPU / CPU ... - GPU only ... - CPU only .. etc. *** List of Articles related to Intel SDK for OpenCL *** ... *** FAQ related to Intel SDK for OpenCL *** ... I've read these Sticky Threads several times and I see that some parts of your instructions could be consolidated and improved.
